practicing German, advice and corrections welcome I'm quite lost with "süßes" here ​:neocat_laugh_sweat:​ I pronounced it the way it seemed right for those letters, but it feels like a weird way to say it

practicing German, advice and corrections welcome also not too sure about the "ch" in "Kätzchen", I might have slipped too much of a Spanish ch there

The "ein" sounded more like "in".
The "süßes" and "kätzches" on the other hand were pretty good.

practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @kitten yes!!! nice :)
The "S" of "Süden" is a bit sharp, it's a bit more of a /z/ in standard german (like in "zebra" in english), although that also varies by local german dialect

practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @floy yayyyyy ​:ablobfoxbongo:​ nice!

I'll keep in mind the s thing, but I think that's more of a matter of remembering it than it being a difficult sound for me

thanks for all the advice ✨

practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @kitten but, like, honestly, your pronunciation is incredibly good, from just hearing that I would guess you're just fluent in german ^^

practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @kitten @floy You can also just completely ignore it, because the claim that there are different ways to pronounce “s” is a lie made up by people in northern Germany. 🤬

(In the south, where I’m from we literally don’t distinguish at all and all school children hate the “You use ‘s’ on voiced and ‘ß’ on unvoiced ‘es’”-advice because we don’t even know what a voiced s is. Not even kidding.)

(Also: In case you saw my deleted comment: I misheard on first listening (speakers on low volume), you did pronounce it correctly!)

re: practicing German, advice and corrections welcome @Fiona interessant ​:neocat_think:​

I am aware of Germans in general having very strong opinions about having variety in accents and pronunciation ​:blobcatgiggle:​
